Open Little Wins in the morning and the day is already laid out — a few short activities to do with your toddler, picked for how old they are this month, using odds and ends you already have in the kitchen. No scrolling, no deciding, no feeling behind.
One email, on the day it's ready. Nothing else, ever — promise.
Not another list to get through. You tell it roughly when your toddler wakes, eats, naps and has tea, and it drops a few things to do into the gaps in between.
The first one of the day tends to be a moving-about, hands-in-it sort of thing, while they've still got plenty in the tank. Whatever you need for it is listed the night before, so nobody's hunting for a muffin tin at eight in the morning.
Late morning is pouring, sorting, threading — the sort of thing a toddler will actually stay with for more than four minutes, which is the whole trick of the hour before lunch.
Then come the real jobs — carrying, sorting, helping. Toddlers are happiest when they're genuinely useful, and it buys you just enough peace to get the pasta on.
The last one is usually something quiet and close, so you're not winding them up twenty minutes before you need them to settle.
Anyone can write a list of activities. The long part was working out what each one is for.
All 142 activities are illustrated, in one warm little world, with children of every kind in it. Not a stock photo anywhere.
EYFS is the Early Years Foundation Stage — the framework English nurseries work to. It covers seven strands of early development, from physical to language. Each activity is tagged with the ones it touches, and the app keeps an eye on the strands your week has seen least of.
You give your child's date of birth, and the plan thinks in months rather than lumping every toddler in together. What a fourteen-month-old is up for and what a thirty-month-old is up for aren't the same thing at all, so you only ever see what suits them now.
